Cydia error message- no ultrasn0w... unlock help?

    I've installed 3.1.2 firmware in my 3g

    Jailbroke it using Redsn0w but Cydia is acting up (stupid error message) and can't d/l ultrasn0w...

    Blackra1n isn't working either, something about a missing dll file, so no blacksn0w...

    Is there anyway to unlock fone without wifi or internet connection direct on fone (have laptop but no wifi)?

    Have looked for a way to d/l ultrasn0w or blacksn0w to laptop without blackra1n or Cydia & transfer over to iPhone using Diskaid but can't find anything except info for doing it with a MAC...

    Thanks in advance...

    iPink STOP a sec....

    You are already jailbroken using redsn0w , no need to use blackra1n , that's just another jailbreak method ? ... You are risking bricking your phone ! And a official restore to 3.1.3 may be on the cards if you get problems.

    You just need to install ultrasn0w to unlock .


    To use ultrasn0w unlock , you will need to get it from CYDIA so do this first.

    1. Launch Cydia on iPhone and add “http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com” as the new repository URL. You can simply tap “Manage” -> “Sources” -> “Edit” -> “Add” to add the repository URL.

    2. Then tap “Search” and search for “ultrasn0w” application
    3. Install “ultrasn0w”
    4. Reboot your iPhone 3G after installing ultrasn0w and enjoy!

    Mixenuts- that's EXACTLY the problem... Cydia won't work... getting that annoying message for a while now 'error netdb open nodename or servname provided, or not known'

    Done a search for it and it seems to be a common problem with no way of resolving.. wasn't even able to d/l 'appbackup' before trying to restore phone, so will have to re-install everything again manually:eek:

    Anyway it's not a problem with Cydia on MY fone cos it was the same thing before and after the restore ie with a wiped-clean fone... seems it's a network problem...

    Whatever the reason, I can't d/l ultrasn0w using Cydia and there seems to be no other way... I've done EXTENSIVE research believe me lol

    So Blackra1n/blacksn0w looks like it might be the only way out for me as I don't need Cydia for them... the problem was with the new version of iTunes... I have blackra1n installed now but still no blacksn0w.... I need to find a wifi hotspot I can use for that....

    Not quite.. but getting there....

    Had already JB with redsn0w, blackra1n didn't like that so after a couple of software refreshes on iTunes and running Blackra1n from the iTunes folder I now have BR on the fone... but no wifi... just have to find a hotspot and then should be able to get Blacksn0w running and all will be well I'm sure... hopefully....:rolleyes:
